Default 001 to 002 exchange

first let me say i'm a 001 user ..i think digidesign is great...
i know people say the ad converters are better in the 002 than 001..
how much people hear it i'd like to know ?
moreover i wonder what you guys think is the reason that digidesign offers this exchange..
thanks for any input.....

converters in the 001 are absolutely horrible. I bypassed them.

002 is supported by current Mac SW, 001 is not. Exchange is just a tool to get people moving that direction.

Hi,

the 001 hardware will probably die sooner than later since the PCI card is incompatible with the G5 /PCX standard Firewire however will be longer on thr race and it´s downward compatible, it only get´s faster.

Plus, with the 002 you get a second set of MIDI plus 2 more mic pre´s. the The software is the same,
on both.

best

Support has many meanings. digi 001 won't work with a Mac OSX 10.3. Digidesign is tied to computer developments they can not control.

You can definitlely do great things with an 001 set-up, I just finished the 2 best songs I have ever done on 001, however you can buy my 001 set up as it will be on ebay soon...

While IMHO the upgrade to the 002r from the 001 is a valid one, the exchange program is not IMHO worth it, and yhou're better off selling the 001 outright for $500+ instead of the trade in program.

upgraging is definititely not a clean proceedure, obviously this board wouldn't be so populated if the HW and SW developments (by all vendors) were clean and easy to follow.

I got a new 002 rack upgrade late December and still had to upgrade firmware and SW when I set it up.

Main reason I upgraded was to get more processing power via the G5, but the 002 rack is pretty nice and at $800 relatively inexpensive.

Also I didn't know OS10.3 could run 001, but I guess it's not supported. My 001 was 4.5 years old so that was the last thing on my mind...
